HAPPY EASTER!!!!

AREA

Last week when we learned about area, we did a really fun activity. We used Cheez-Its to talk about area. The students were given the Cheez-Its and were able to make a design. Then, they had to color in the design they made with the Cheez-Its. Finally, they made a flip book and counted the area of their designs.

MEASURING WITH FEET

In Math, we have been learning about different forms of measurement. We learned that we can use many different materials to measure. These are called non-standard measurements.  Last week, we used a foot to measure different lengths. We began this lesson by reading The Foot Book by Dr. Seuss. Then, the students were broken up in groups and had to measure designated lengths using the foot they had decorated

. The students did a great job working together to complete the assignment.

 

 

ROY G BIV

In Science, we have been learning about light. We learned the different colors of the rainbow. We made an art project to help us remember the colors.

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet

Meet ROY G BIV!!!!

 

FIELD TRIP TO THE NEW ORLEANS AQUARIUM!!!

In the beginning of March, we took a class field trip to the New Orleans Aquarium. We had been learning about the different biomes in Social Studies. By going on this field trip, we were able to get up close and personal with the ocean biome. The students were so excited to see some many of the different animals that we had learned about.

We began the field trip by going on a scavenger hunt through the aquarium!!!

After our scavenger hunt, we ate lunch outside. It was a beautiful day but really hot!!!  Then, we went to the IMAX and saw Born to be Wild. It was a great movie about the life of baby orangutans and elephants. And Yes we had to wear those silly glasses.

It was a GRRREAT DAY!!!!!!
